Gunbroker scam auction

[Mike Poindexter]

The "buyer" of the Parker and the Perazzi scammed the scammer. Won the auction to shut it down, then left scathing feedback calling the seller out. Has no intention of sending any money. Look at the seller's response to see some English as a Second Language. Too bad GB wont do any of this policing themselves.

This is exactly what I suggested doing previously.

Mike.... Where/how did you find those comments. I would just like to read them. I hate these scammers

Most of these people are in another country and once the money is transacted it is gone, impossible to get back. During my working life we had an incident in our Reno Nevada office in where a person of unknow identity called the state of Nevada and said that we (the company) were changing our electronic deposit account and would they please switch to this new number. The low level state employee did not question it or follow up with a call to our local office to confirm and verify the change. Our monthly project progress payment came up and was electronically sent to the new account. After a period of time our office controller called the state and asked where the payment was and of course that exposed the problem. It was discovered that the people were in a foreign country and there was no possibility of recovering the money. That costed the state of Nevada $2.7 MILLION dollars. So, things happen out there.

Looks like GB shut the sellers account down and altered the original feedback thread from "wolf-clan-man" to exclude the lengthy diatribe and equally lengthy seller response. Worse than scammers, I hate content editors who play fast and loose with internet messages. Now you see it, now you dont.
